How her approaches work for online support

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s priorities first. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps shape sessions around what matters most to the individual. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to make sense of loss, caregiving strain, or major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on linking thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear exercises such as keeping thought records and testing beliefs. CBT is often helpful for managing anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns that keep stress high.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system. Short, repeated practices can make daily stressors easier to handle and support coping between sessions.

Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different techniques together until a good fit is found. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to the person’s needs and pace.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so people can meet around work or caregiving duties.
